US map broken into counties showing locations of floodplains and how many counties are locating in or around floodplains. Around 220 counties are inside floodplains, around 600 about 0-250m from floodplains, around 550 about 250-500m from floodplains, and the rest are 500m to less than 2km away. - SE CASC Releases 2017-2024 Center Report - Geospatial Analytics at NC State University
